the tremendous success of our 13th

by the CCNC in August, and a fine luncheon on Social Media Investigations,
A big thanks to our September speaker, Brad Balentine,
SIU Director with David Morse & Associates, for his most
insightful presentation on the Use of Social Media in Claims
Investigations. He brought an in-depth look on the do’s and
don’ts, and what to look for out there. It was a very interesting perspective on the social media age we all live in today.
October 8th, we are very pleased to present a Great morning
session CE class. The class will be led by “Super Attorney”
Rick Arneal, and will be on Liability Updates in CA Construction Defect Law. See details on page 7. The class will

2015 Early-Bird Membership Deal! Join or Renew Now & Save
On the success of a similar offer last year, the East Bay Claims
Association Board of Directors has elected to offer-up a bit of a
reward for returning members for the coming year, as well as an
enticement for new members.
“We really appreciate all the support this organization has enjoyed
the past several years,” stated EBCA President Joe Baughman.
Overall membership and meeting attendance has been consistent
and substantial. Still, the sense that there aren’t many adjusters at
any given function remains pervasive.
“As with all our sister groups, we continue
to encourage the carrier claims people and
independent adjusters participate, and to become more involved,” Joe added. “East Bay
Claims Association is always committed to
maintaining a high degree of professional
courtesy within our ranks.”
The organization has been actively taking
measures to continue to raise its standing
within the community, as well.
As an established charitable 501c(3) non-profit organization, EBCA
has added the status of the Continuing Education Provider credential
to the reasons to be more involved.
There seems to be a bit of a revival of carriers supporting their
claims people joining and supporting their local associations. The
EBCA Board has opted to continue to offer annual FREE Memberships to insurance claims adjusters. Completion and submission
of a simple membership application now allows all such claims
people the benefits of membership.
The Early-Bird discount amounts to a 10%
savings off the normal annual membership
dues. Beginning October 1, 2014, and running
through the end of the year, current members
may renew for just $45 for individuals, or $90
for Corporate membership (three people per
corporate membership). New members joining
for the first time pay the regular $50 or $110
respective dues, but receive the balance of the
current year and all of 2015.
Sign up or renew now at EastBayAdjusters.org.

East Bay Claims Association News Network • Sept/Oct 2014
Social Media In Claims Investigation at Sept EBCA
By Lynna Harrison, Association News Network, Inc.
The Guest Speaker for the September 10, 2014 Luncheon Meeting
for the East Bay Claims Association was Brad Balentine, the Director
of the Special Investigations Unit for David Morse & Associates. David
Morse & Associates is a multi-claim services company headquartered
in California. Mr. Balentine has over 20 years experience as a fraud
investigator and manager.
The focus of the presentation was how effective social media can be in bolstering investigations
of a claimant. Mr Balentine outlined numerous ways in which to use social media web sites
when investigating suspected fraud. He stated that, due to the inclination of people to remove
posts, when you do find evidence it is important to save and take screen-shots of information
on Facebook, Twitter etc., which may be used as evidence should the
case go to trial.
Brad said it is important that investigators never attempt to impersonate
anyone else in the course of investigating a claim. He also pointed
out that it is important to recognize that not everything you see on the
internet is true.
There is not much specific case law thus far for Social Media investigations limits or regulations. Basically, he said, if you can see it without
a special password on internet it is legal and a person's web site is open
for perusal, within any privacy settings they have established.

East Bay Claims Association News Network • Sept/Oct 2014
September Social Media In Claims Investigation
continued from page 6
Mr Balentine told about a woman who was on disability talking on
Facebook about working somewhere else. Convicted of fraud.
He said there are numerous people who question the need for independent social media investigation, saying “why have an investigator
if we can just google it?”
“Number one,” he stated, “we can testify independently of any bias.
Further, we know different web sites and the ins-and-outs to work
deeper into a case.”
In another case he described, a man claimed tools stolen out of a tool
shed. “We found he had gone bankrupt the year before and claimed
the same tools.”
“You need to dig around,” he added. “They may not have posted
pictures you can see, themselves, but friends may have. Events and
groups can lead you to people.”
He talked about a claim from a “disabled” man where they found pictures of him on a bicycle race going up a very steep hill for 31 miles
and for 5 hours, boasting how he did it.
Another “disabled” man who lived in both New York and Florida.
Their investigation found a video showing him working in a produce
market, lifting three grocery carts of watermelon. Clearly outside of
his reported ability.
Complete Rebuild Plans for
Insurance Repair Projects
(Architectural, Structural, Title 24, Etc.)
Mr. Balentine listed numerous social media sites, including: Facebook;
Twitter; LinkedIn; YouTube; Google pics; Google Plus+;, Foursquare;
Flicker; Instagram; Tumblr; and many more.
The 50/50 Raffle prize was won by our own Publisher Bryan Harrison.
Please join the East Bay Claims Association next month, Wednesday
(the 2nd Wednesday most months), October 8th 2014 for a morning
Education Course, with CE Credits. The course “Updates on California Construction Defect Law” will be presented by "Super Attorney"
Richard G. Arneal, Esq. The session will be followed by a regular

Perils & Pitfalls of Winery Claims
Enology Expert Fugelsang to address November 12, 2014 EBCA
Join the East Bay Claims Association as we welcome K.C. Fugelsang

California State University, Fresno. He will be speaking
